The movie tells the story of a pair of 30-something sisters who learn that their parents are planning to sell their home. The sisters decide to throw one last house party in the home where they grew up.

A loose two hours, Sisters is not about anything large or important, it's just a hilarious film about the bonds of women who take care of their own lives despite copious outside pressures; just some little stuff like that.

Pell's script, inspired in no small way by her own relationship with her own sister, is so smart, so genuine, as crazy as things might get the human saga at the center remains pure and realistically heartfelt no matter what.

It's with no small reluctance I report Sisters is a depressing, overlong, repetitive slapstick disaster in which two of the most appealing stars around wallow in the muck AND the mire, figuratively and literally.
